We're dividing 988876 by 84 
We want to figure out the number of times 988876 can be divided by 84.

Advancing to step 1:
84 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 84

Going ahead to step 2:
84 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 84 from 98.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 84

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 148 by 84, we get 1 and a remainder of 64.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 84 from 148 leaves us with 64.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 648 / 84

Advancing to step 4:
84 goes into 648 7 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtracting 588 from 648 leaves us with 60.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 607 / 84

On to step 5:
If we divide 607 by 84, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1177.0
If we subtract 588 from 607, we get 19.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 196 / 84

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 196 by 84, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11772.0
If we subtract 168 from 196, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 84 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11772.3
Subtract 252 from 280 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
280 divided by 84 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11772.33
Subtract 252 from 280 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 11772.33 with a remainder of 0.028.
